LiveU’s Q Era Arrives in ANZ with the LU900Q at ABE2026

The LU900Q Intelligent Production Unit delivers a quantum leap in live production performance and remote contribution reliability

LiveU will introduce its Q Era to Australia and New Zealand for the first time at ABE2026 on Stand No. 25, (July 30–31). Leading the showcase is the LU900Q, a new intelligent production unit that raises the bar for IP contribution resilience and remote live production. As an integral part of LiveU’s modular IP-video EcoSystem, the LU900Q combines resilient field contribution with automation and flexible production workflows for news, sports and digital-first live content.

The LU900Q features complete hardware re-engineering, designed to capture the best possible signal in the most challenging environments. It is equipped with a high-gain antenna array and six 5G Dual-MIMO modems for maximum resilience – in dense crowds and remote terrain alike. The result is dependable transmission from locations where conventional connectivity falls short, whether that’s a remote sporting venue, a fast-moving breaking news story, or a complex multi-camera production in the field.

“The APAC region has already seen what LiveU technology can do in some of the most challenging environments,” says Chris Dredge, Country and Sales Manager, LiveU Pacific. “Our work with the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) to bring remote VAR to the Pacific Islands for the first time is a clear example. LiveU is also among the technologies powering coverage across all 16 stadiums of the 2026 World Football Championship – the most operationally complex tournament in the event’s history. When the world is watching at that scale, there is no margin for error – and that’s exactly what LiveU is built for.”

As a modular production unit, the LU900Q seamlessly integrates with SDI, HDMI and IP equipment – from ENG cameras and PTZ systems to drones and beyond. The unit supports HD/4K output over 10-bit HDR 4:2:2 encoding, with up to 32 audio channels and dual camera input/output.

Digital-First Strategies

As audience consumption continues to fragment across platforms, LiveU Nexus addresses the growing complexity of broadcast ingest and distribution. By converting, normalising and routing IP feeds across LRT, SRT and RTMP protocols, LiveU Nexus bridges the gap between social, online and remote sources and traditional broadcast infrastructure – giving teams a single, unified IP workflow to serve linear, digital and social channels simultaneously.

LiveU Studio will also be on show, demonstrating expanded cloud-based IP live production capabilities that let teams deliver multiple feeds in different formats from a single production. With a browser-based, broadcast-grade video switcher, synchronised multi-camera support, ISO recording and instant replay, LiveU Studio gives distributed teams the tools to produce professional live content, wherever they’re working from.

Workflow Automation

With production teams under pressure to deliver more with less, automation is no longer a nice-to-have. LiveU will demonstrate how planning, transmission, ingest and metadata workflows that once spanned multiple disconnected platforms can now be managed from a single point of control – reducing operational overhead and the margin for error.

LiveU Ingest connects live acquisition directly into editorial as part of a story-centric workflow. Built around metadata tagging and automatic recording, it integrates with MAM systems, NRCS platforms and transcription services to keep every feed searchable, rundown-linked and ready to clip – accelerating post-production while cutting costs.

LiveU Schedule replaces the spreadsheets and fragmented tools that many teams still rely on, bringing intelligent scheduling, resource management and automated execution together in one centralised SaaS platform. Designed for the fast-pace of live news and the complexity of major sports events, it helps teams streamline planning and ensure consistent, repeatable workflows. 

Live Video Exchange

LiveU Matrix completes the picture, bringing live video distribution into the cloud, giving broadcasters and content owners a browser-based platform to share and receive live feeds instantly. Reliable and cost-effective, LiveU Matrix handles an exponential number of simultaneous live feeds with the performance that global news broadcasters, sports organisations, and production houses rely on.

Actus X – Unified Monitoring, Compliance, Clipping & AI Intelligence Platform

Actus Digital, a LiveU company, will showcase Actus X on partner Magna Systems’ stand No. 43 and the LiveU stand. Actus X is a modular, browser-based platform combining compliance logging, QA monitoring, multiviewing, clip creation, and AI media intelligence for content analysis, accelerating VOD/OTT workflows, and gaining real-time visibility across media workflows.
